Impacting On Autistic Patients and Families
For more than one year Drake has been actively treating High Functioning Autism patients with very satisfying results. We are now presenting our Data to the medical scientific community. To date, we’ve seen over seventy new patients and the results have been clearly dramatic. We are arranging a separate research project with the Child Development Center at the University of California at Irvine to further explore and expand on these findings so as to further improve our care systems.

How has the patient condition improved? This appears in the graph below. The second sphere of impact is that felt by the patient’s family.
